Building and maintaining an open source project takes a village. In a mini-series on this blog we would like to highlight the work of our maintainers, component owners, and members of the larger community.

Today we’re meeting Jonathan Gonzalez, Senior Kubernetes Developer at EDB and CloudNativePG maintainer. Jonathan is part of the team that originally started the project. His first “real” contribution to the project was a commit to implement the status of PostgreSQL, a “long, long time ago”. So historic in fact, we can’t find the link, but for more recent work of the same ilk:
https://github.com/cloudnative-pg/cloudnative-pg/commit/041489a4280ce989cc03bc5e103040cc0488791b

One thing Jonathan would really love to see some improvement in is the CloudNativePG website. He would love to see it get some TLC.

Baby Jonathan first got into Tech when he got a 386 computer to “do some stuff with a modem”. Nowadays people in the CloudNativePG project reach out to him because he just knows a lot about a lot. “But also just to chat!” He is involved in other projects as well, and calls the Prato Linux community home.

Jonathan is a Component owner for the Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM), and the pgbouncer-containers, pgcrash-containers, postgis-containers, postgres-containers, and postgres-trunk-containers
